One way around this that I can think of is to modify the power supply itself so that the device reboots itself every hour or so. Inelegant, annoying, and potentially data-corrupting, but effective for devices that run off of a CD/DVD, such as Knoppix.
I've seen this before! Malachi 1:8 And if ye offer the blind [wearing glassses] for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick [3P's - pasty, pimply, pudgy], is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor [or elected official of one's choice]; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.
Gotta be a fulfilled prophecy if I've ever seen one.
This very idea occurred to me about 5 years ago, and I immediately assumed that someone out there was doing it already. It's an idea that's too easy to abuse for it not to be happening.

It runs on Windows, Netware, and Linux servers. It's #3 behind Exchange and Lotus, provides document management/storage solutions, all the bell and whistles of groupware, has clients for nearly every platform, has a rich API, has been around in one form or another since the early 80's (Wordperfect Office for the DEC VAX) etc, and is very robust.

I was bored years ago and constructed a long string of metal Mobo standoffs which I named the LART, while building Windows 95 machines. http://www.hyperdictionary.com/computing/lart
It was used to exorcise demons of stupidity, ala Dogbert http://www.screensavers.com/?WP_ID=386_0_ 23737_1
I passed it on to the next senior helpdesk sacrificial goat/tech, and each one has passed it on to their successors in a ceremony named appropriately enough, "The Passing of the Lart". It's good for a laugh.

Not necessarily the case. Have a look at this site about 'traffic waves'. http://www.amasci.com/amateur/traffic/traffic1.htm l If everyone left room for people to get in front of them, surprise! everyone would still get where they were going, maybe a minute or so slower. That site has some interesting ideas I try to implement in real life. Strange thing is, my frustration level goes down, not up, when I apply those principles.
One of the things I like about Netware servers is the ability to do most of the necessary things at the console in a Command-based or Text-based environment (C-worthy style). Even in Netware 5/6, you can unload the java console (based on X?) and do a great deal without it. Frees up resources when they don't need to be consumed by a GUI. Terseness when needed, and a GUI when needed. I am curious to see if Novell's distros of Linux follow this trend.
When did the terminology transition from desalinization to desalination? Too many people have a problem remembering how to spell the former? All through the eighties and nineties when everyone here in Florida was talking about the technology, the name was always desalinization. This new term is new to me.
That's gotta burn Cisco. Their typical stance is "We bought technology X (VXWorks, CATOS, Finesse, etc) because it has something to offer, then brought it up to Cisco's standards. As time goes by, we will make their interfaces more IOS-like." IOS or anything else developed in-house is like their sacred cow.
Whether or not they should move multi-hundred-port switches (4000, 6000, 8000-series switches)from a terse and compact CLI like CATOS to IOS is a whole 'nother rant. Yes, I know one can use port ranges and other tricks in Switch IOS to address multiple ports. But for speed and directness I'll take SET commands over the mess of VLAN-database and config-commands any day when the port number is more than 12 or so. I'm one of the stubborn few who insist on running my 6509's in hybrid mode for just that reason.

I vollue and globber floopily to you.
Well, apocryphally speaking, most were Sabot-aged, so I would say No.
You forgot to mention the HIJINKS/HILARITIES that inevitably ensue.
After all, they'll file it under 'X' for 'Laser cannon'. Right next to the air pump filed under 'H' for 'toy'.
So...it's both immoral AND unethical, right?

That's about it. Something this serious needs a professional.
Paraphrasing an old joke I heard:
Buried dog. Had to. Was dead.
NSS has been ported to Linux too. That's an another modern industrial-strength filesystem with features sorely needed by Linux.
That's for sure; I've used the Linux GW client, and it's not very good. I keep telling myself that it's a decent first try and that subsequent releases will get better.
